They are coming out of a blue field labeled Capital and are on top of a red box. The Democrat figure is being smashed with a red hammer labeled Labor Party. The poster reads, "Conference for Labor Party organizing committee/ Saturday January 17, 1976/ 10 AM to 4 PM Panel Discussions Workshops/ at U.A.W. Labor Temple 452001 Fremont Blvd. (in Fremont)/ call 824-4795 533-3503/ All Welcome." [This image is based on a Paris 1968 poster graphic. There have been several efforts to build a labor party in the United States; this one was formed in 1996 under the leadership of OCAW officer Tony Mazzocchi and with participation of the United Mine Workers, International Longshore and Warehouse Union, American Federation of Government Employees, California Nurses Association and hundreds of other local labor unions. The party languished after Mazzochi's death in 2002. -LMC]
